i have installed the new stable image Angstrom-X11-2007.12-R14 from 1.April.The first test showed an wrong script under /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant (from Ubuntu, it fails with sed of busybox not knowing --quite) get called.So i just linked wpa-supplicant to wpasupplicant.When i try to connect to my WPA-WLAN with an NetGear MA-401RA (Firmware PRI v1.1.1, STA v1.8.2), it will get no connection.The cards is ok, under simpad i can connect to an open WLAN.My interfaces looks like

i found the thread about "wpa support broken ?".It seems someone with bitbake-knowhow has to review the receipes and fix something.Depency between ieee80211_crypt_tkip and arc4 module seems broken as Oliver Fels expained the problem.

The correct modules are loaded however there is no dependency between ieee80211_crypt_tkip and the arc module (which iirc should be).Which is highly suspect to the aforementioned missing arc4 kernel module dependency.Try to use 2.6.23 instead to make it work.

i took an Knoppix 5.3 (DVD from c't 06/2008) and tested it with an Dell Latitude D630 and an FSC Lifebook E7100.Both don't recognized the MA-401 automatically ....After modprobing hostap manually, both showed the same crypto-modules missing like my simpad I have to find an friend with an better supported laptop

I also have a Netgear MA401 and I can confirm that it does WPA with even a 2.4 kernel, namely the familiar 0.8.4 + this.My next step is to get it working with Angstrom, too. Good to see that I'm not alone.

you need to figure out if you will be able to use this card on a laptop or something else with kernel > 2.6 .22. If it will work there please post it here else it is not only an angstrom based problem and a general hostap forum/list would be the better solution to renew support for your card.

I can confirm that Netgear MA401 is working with WPA in release r14 as well as r15.My only problem was my outdated prism firmware. After updating it with the prism2_srec command it works very well.-hafu
